Hi, I'm Laura from Inventors & Makers. Our self-led virtual workshops and clubs are designed to make STEM accessible for you to do from school, nursery or home.
We do all the hard work of planning and teaching STEM for you. We even use resources and equipment you'll probably already have. So all you need to do is get yourself set up and press play on our videos.
Take a look through our workshops and after-school clubs for EYFS, KS1 and KS2, and our home-based Little STEAMers classes for ages 2-5.
"The teachers were able to simply click on their link and use the STEM workshop with their children in their own room. The resources for the activities were easy to grab and low in cost and each activity was age appropriate. The children were engaged throughout and it was very helpful to be able to pause the video to ask their very curious questions and discuss further if needed. They had lots of fun!" (Miss Field DT/Science Lead, Kirkheaton Primary School)
With A Term of STEM Stories you get free lifetime access to a set of 10 STEM Stories videos and printable resources to share with your little ones at home or in a school or nursery.
This taster class introduces you to your first Little STEAMers with a slightly shorter, but equally fun, session all about floating and sinking, for a reduced one-off price.
Children learn about reducing, reusing and recycling with this workshop as we read a story, play games, make a toy by reusing materials and watch an experiment.
Children travel to the Moon with this workshop as we read a story, make star gazer telescopes, blast off a rocket and print Moon paintings.
This workshop inspires children to engineer bridges in different ways using a story, actions, new ideas and familiar resources.
This workshop links to forces as children explore engineering with levers by building seesaws, lifting books and firing catapults.
This workshop gets your children developing skills behind coding like logic, sequencing and directions with numbers, songs and games.
This workshop gets your children exploring colours with some fun science and art activities that are easy to set up.
This workshop covers the life cycle of a butterfly as we read, sing, move, have fun with maths and learn about scientific reactions.
Children learn about plants with this workshop as we read a story, grow our own seeds, make some awesome nature artwork and even make celery change colour!
This workshop gets your children learning about fossils and skeletons as we become mini paleontologists.
This workshop links to animals and can be tied to various animal topics as we look at habitats, footprints and animal markings.
